You'll find plenty of threads on recommended puppy foods if you do a search but remember, you must keep your puppy on the food given by the breeder to begin with and any new food must be introduced slowly and gradually to avoid upsetting a puppy's tummy. Most good breeders will give their buyers a supply of food and detailed diet sheet to ensure their pups get off to a good start in their new homes :blink:

Mine are all fed on Royal Canin. Buttons & Gracie are on Royal Canin Medium Sensible for fussy eaters  ::) and the puppies have been raised on Royal Canin Starter. They will be moved on to Royal Canin Medium Breed Junior at 8 weeks.

Well Gill, you probably know how many different foods I've tried with mine  ::) they have both been on this food since March last year and I highly recommend it. It is the only dried food they will eat without anything mixed in, which at the end of the day is the whole point of a
'complete' food.

Some puppies are happy eating their puppy kibble dry and some prefer it soaked in warm water first. You can give scrambled eggs as one of the 4 daily meals but don't introduce too many new things at once - talk to your breeder about what your puppy is used to eating.

I think I hoped that giving Molo hard food to chew as often as possible might just blunt those needle-teeth of his  :005:
I now feed raw, and know that some COL breeders wean their puppies onto a raw diet - bones and all  :D

Jesse is currently on the food that his breeder provided, but he will be changed to CSJ CP puppy food. All our other dogs (except for the vegan one) are fed on CSJ and do great on it. I intend to do the same with Jesse.
